Australian Corps

The Australian Corps was an Australian army corps that was active from 1 November 1917 to October 1918, containing all five Australian infantry divisions serving on the Western Front during World War I. At its peak, the corps numbered almost 110,000 troops, and the corps was commanded by John Monash, who led his troops to a series of unprecedented victories during the German spring offensive and the Allied counteroffensive in 1918. In early October, the Australians were withdrawn from fighting, having seen nearly continuous action since January 1918.
